Denise and Matt have three children together, Maxwell Julian Tinker (1994), Alexanderia Denise Tinker (1998), and Lucas Matthew Tinker (2003). Her kids were her world. She was a mother who inspired creativity, love, and courage. In the early 90s, Denise was heavily involved with the Junior Chamber of Commerce (The Jaycees) in both Livonia and Fenton, President of the Fenton chapter for a year. She attended classes at Mott Community College where she studied ASL, and later went on to graduate from the Medical Assistant program at Ross Medical Education Center. Denise was involved in many organizations over her lifetime and enjoyed countless hobbies and activities. Some of the many things that brought her joy were spending time with her family and friends, quilting, crocheting, crafts, gardening, archery, kayaking, spending time in the outdoors, her dog “Gigi”, and riding her motorcycle. Denise was ordained to officiant weddings in 2018 and started her own company, Infinity Weddings. Denise passionately brought hearts together as a wedding officiant, embracing her love for love itself. Denise was an incredibly loyal, loving, caring, strong, and compassionate person. Denise was fun, sarcastic, and adventurous, always bringing life to the party. She will live on forever in the joyous memories she brought to every person in her life.
